Ranting. You know sometimes I think she only half hears me. No, I know she only half hears me. "We can't stay in the confines of these... These... Idiots any longer! We have to run!" I roll my eyes and smile, it was my idea to go, yet she is trying to convince me to go.
"We must spread our wings like an eagle," when she said eagle she mad a bird shape with her hands and put it right I'm front of my face, "Remove ourselves from the shackles that they put on us, preventing us from living free! We could be F.B.I agents! We could kick bad guy butt!" She takes a breath, Finally I can speak!
"I agree Rae, this afternoon after school, we will tell the Murdoch's that I have swim practice then drama, and you have speech and debate and track. Then you know Danielle? She is in drama and track,"
"Oh ya, the one with the ugly nose and big feet?" She asked,
"Ya, that's the one, we can say she us having a sleep over and we will be back tomorrow at 4:30pm. So if school ends at 3:15pm and they assume that we were late they will start to worry about 5:00pm so that gives us roughly 27 hours to get away."
"Good, good," she said pacing around the room. "Together we have about two-thousand dollars in savings, and maybe we can call Mr. Coulson and see if he can pick us up, but if not that will get us two one way tickets"
"Yes but, we are minors they are going to ask for a permission slip, or a guardian."
"So our best shot is Coulson."
"Or take the bus"
We both shudder, we are not social people, so being in a cramped space with strangers is not our idea of a good time.
We get our stuff, and fill our backpacks with all the things we need. I watch my sister put a framed picture of Loki in her bag, what she sees in him is beyond me, "he's just misunderstood" she argues, he's a raging sociopath, that's what I think.
We tell the Murdoch's our story,
"Just don't be your usual stupid self's!" Said Mrs. Murdoch, she had tequila on her breath.
School is boring as usual, I get picked on, raven gets sent to the counselor for beating up the kids who made fun of me, you know the usual.
At lunch I say I'm heading to the bathroom but instead I go out side and make an important call,
"Hello, this is Phil Coulson, I can't come to the phone right now, I'm probably dead... again or fighting someone, leave a message, and I will get back to you later." Disappointed that I couldn't reach him I do as he said and leave a message. "Mr. Coulson, this is Colombia Rodgers, me and my sister have decided to join the F.B.I academy for teens," I explained our situation for the man, "please help us, Sir, we don't want to go back to our alleged home." I get back to class, I park my chair at my desk in history class, our teacher is all right kind of boring but cool. I sit next to Raven but when I looked at her she had a funny look on her face, class hadn't started yet so I leaned over to her and said "Hey, what's up?"
"Its over." Her voice was monotone
"What?"
"Don't try."
"Rae?"
"We are in trouble." She said with fear In her eyes. I tried to ignore it as class started, at the end of school we walk out of the building and we see the Murdoch's waiting out side the school in front of their car. Fake smiles plastered on their faces, when we got in the car they turned to us and said "You called SHEILD, you tried to escape, we're not happy with you" as we drove off I imagined the different ways they would torture us, would this time end in death?
